You read several positive words about the use of CBD products. Although no conclusive studies are pointing out the therapeutic benefits of CBD, there are no studies that prove otherwise either. You also cannot find studies pointing out severe side effects in the use of CBD oil. Therefore, if you think it is worth the try, you should pursue your plans.
Before you do so, you also need to ask your doctor first as the reason why there are no definite conclusions regarding the benefits and risks of CBD oil is that our bodies react to the product in different ways. The same thing applies to other medicinal products; some people have allergic reactions to them, while others do not.
Consulting with your doctor will help you identify if it is okay if you try using the CBD products UK. Your physician knows your medical history and could give the right advice based on the analysis of your history. If your physician decides against its use, you might want to follow it to avoid complications.
Other medications
If you’re currently taking medicines bought from a regular pharmacy to treat illnesses, you need to consult with your doctor to check if CBD oil could complicate the use of the medication you are currently taking. If you insist on using the oil, you need to ask your doctor if it is safe if you decide to halt the intake of the prescribed medicines temporarily.
Not all doctors will advise in favour of CBD products
Although there are doctors who believe in the use of CBD products, there is a large community of health experts who think otherwise. You might want to request for a second opinion if you feel like your physician’s judgment is not reliable enough since if you receive the same advice despite seeking a different view, you have no choice but to follow it.
Start with a small dosage
After consultation with your doctor and receiving the approval to use the CBD oil, the next step is to try it first. Apply a low dose for the first time. You can increase over time, but it depends on how much your body needs. Be careful not to have a high dosage at first because you did not feel any effect. It is possible that your body does not respond quickly to the oil and it takes time for the ingredients to kick in, so wait for some time or else you will consume more than what a first-timer could.
Observe potential side effects
Usually, the recorded side effects of CBD oil use are minor and not life-threatening – dizziness, nausea and dry lips are among them. These side effects are also possible even with commercially available pills but however, if you start palpitating or your blood pressure shoots up, you need to stop. Go back to your doctor to ask why you experienced those problems, since you cannot continue using the product unless your doctor gives a signal to do so.
